(Joh. El. Ridinger’s Hunting Album) III/18. – Cf. Thienemann 198. – From the “Collection of Rare Stag’s Antlers Abnormities and Stag Pictures” listed as 3rd part. – The whole rare set almost unknown to literature and comprising 80 leaves, though practically to be completed just peu à peu. In the pictorial effect corresponding to that of the aquatint technique not used by Ridinger anymore. – On buff paper.
After sheet 3 of the “Study of the Wild Animals” though the lateral accessories have been omitted and therefore turning the leaf into upright direction. – Without the verses by Brockes. – Besides this deviation especially in regard of the quite independent pictorial effect as a result of the lithographic technique
a very fine addition for any collection .
